What language do you consider being more pleasant, (nice, agreeable; kind, amiable, friendly) to your ears ? (All languages being spoken by a professional with a clear and pleasant voice)

1.Italian
2.Dutch

the most pleasure language is my own language, I don't consider that some laguage can sound even for a while more pleasure for my ears. My language is a language of my parents, it's first language which I have ever heard.

This is potentially flamebait. Also, even if it's legit, it should be posted on the 'languages' forum.

I like Italian , because is more melodic , dutch is very angry in sound, more than german.

Italian rules ! very sexylicious language ! German is my native one, by the way, so dutch is quite similar, but rather boring to me !

Italian is nice , I like Spanish more. Dutch is not my favorite one, but I don't hate it. :)

I am not a worshiper of Dutch by far. I think that Italian and Dutch are contrasting as much as black and white.

Italian.

Dutch, no doubt! I don't like Italian. Especially its intonation. Nederlands is de beste!

Dutch is quite harsh to my ears though I love the people and their culture.

German is not as harsh as they are more sharp in when pronuncing.

I would perfer Swedish more pleasant to the ears and a lovely 'sing song' tone they would have when they speak.

Italian? mmmmm I would perfer French I love the Nasal sounds it contains.

I guess in Dutch only the gutteral "g" spoils the whole impression. If they pronounced normal "g" or "h" instead, it would sound absolutely OK. BTW, written Dutch, to my mind, looks quite nice, especially those double vowels and "ij".
